3rd District legislators take their “mobile office” to Spokane’s neighborhoods

This week, Representatives Andy Billig and Timm Ormsby held open office hours at the Corbin Senior Center in Spokane's Emerson-Garfield neighborhood. It was the first of four planned "mobile office" events that the legislators are holding this fall.

Participants came with questions that covered topics ranging from the state's economic forecast, to Spokane road conditions, to funding for Spokane's four-year medical school.

If you missed out on this event, you still have three more chances to meet the legislators at other locations around the district. Upcoming mobile offices are planned for:

Thursday, October 13

West Central neighborhood - Indaba Coffee
1425 W Broadway Ave
4:00 to 5:30 p.m. 

Wednesday, October 19

Hillyard neighborhood - North East Community Center
4001 North Cook Street
12:30 to 2:00 p.m. 

Tuesday, November 1

East Central neighborhood - East Central Community Center
500 S. Stone
5:00 to 6:30 p.m.

In addition, Reps. Billig and Ormsby, together with state Sen. Lisa Brown, have a permanent district office located at 25 West Main Street, where they can meet one-on-one with constituents by prior appointment. The "mobile office" is simply a way for them to be even more accessible, offering constituents a chance to speak with them in an informal environment without having to first make an appointment.
